Syracuse, NY — Plea negotiations may be underway in the case of a Catholic priest accused of having child porn, but nothing was decided in court today.

Robert Ours, 65, did not appear before County Court Judge Joseph Fahey, who had scheduled today as a possible plea date.

Fahey did not call Ours’s case during court, but Senior Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Cali asked afterward when Ours was due back to court with his lawyers, Emil Rossi and Michael Spano.

The judge said both sides were scheduled next for July 22. The case could either proceed toward trial at that time, with lawyers making legal arguments, or could be resolved.
